Abstract

Bolbostemma paniculatum (Maxim.) Franquet (Cucurbitaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant (1), from which tubeimoside 1 was isolated. The antitumor activity and toxicity of tubeimoside 1 was investigated in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that tubeimoside 1 exerts potent anti-tumor activity with low toxicity. The compound inhibited DNA synthesis and induced phenotypic reverse transformation of tumor cells.

Key words

Bolbostemma paniculatum (Maxim.) Franquet - Cucurbitaceae - tubeimoside 1 - antitumor activity - toxicity
